Review

“The clarity of thought and lucidity in style di?erentiate a masterly author from a compiler of monotonous facts. Among the multitude of Indian law books whose hallmark is lack of originality and clarity the present work stands apart for its lucidity, clarity and novelty.” – The Academy Law Review
